i doubt android drivers, everything related to android is a security concern. i dont have any proof.
https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/new...of-hp-laptops/ is just an example.
there is a possibility that there could be something fishy like this in the android drivers too.

jolla showcased x with their own OS in the last WMC and that was promoting . imaginary unicorn arrows were pointing towards x and the geek people started buying x like its the last good thing left on the planet.

i never sync my contacts online, i like to copy them onto the sim card but i cannot do this in sailfish. game over. thats it.

It is true that most of the high-end mobile hardware comes preinstalled with android but this is pretty much like most high-end computers come preinstalled with Windows or MacOS... it doesn't mean one has to keep the OS the device comes with

the thing you have said is as easy as 1-2-3 for computers. you dont like win install linux, you dont like linux install another linux distro but not that easy for mobile hardware.
